The AC pulley can seize with or without the compressor running

The system is "failsafe" so with the switch open or the wire disconnected the fan runs, it shuts off when the switch closes or you short the two leads together.

Yes, there are timing marks on the harmonic balancer, the pointer is on the drivers side below the PS pump. It is always a good idea to bar an engine over in its normal direction which is clockwise standing in front of the truck looking at the harmonic balancer

Another dang Dmax followed me home today. This one popped up (I had not looked at the salvage auction in a while) and sold the next day after I found it so I had no time to go and preview it so it was a total shot in the dark, kinda like GP :LOL: But I got it so dang cheap I could not have...

Yes and look for excessive play also.

Not likely, there is nothing electric about the engine but for the shut down solenoid.

No it has bearings that can go out, when the compressor is not running it acts like an idler pulley.

Maybe something in the belt system, AC comp, idler etc. Looks like maybe the tensioner or compressor.

I believe the part number you need is N3118 which is NSN 6110-01-485-9081 Put a want in the classifieds as some have removed the monster 400A and replaced them with 200A

It should not take long, IIRC it would shift one time, if so I predict you should see a code 87

Any time you are doing electrical work where you are going from off to run repeatedly you should disconnect the TSU or you can burn up the glow plugs. Any time the TSU is plugged in and you turn the run switch to off you MUST wait at least 90 second before going back to run. All this is laid out...

If you disconnect the batteries the codes will be erased.

Does the trans light come on when switched to run and then go off when started?

Sorry! :eek:

If you disconnect the batteries you will erase the codes, you would need to drive it again enough to cause it to go into limp mode and then try again without disconnecting the batteries.

Welcome to the SS forums!!

It may be advantageous to source another OM617 With a pump mod and a good Holset turbo I should see around 170HP which would be enough. The OM617 will do 230HP with a 7.5mm IP, 7CM Holset turbo and an intercooler but an otherwise stock engine. One would need to be careful though with a drive...

All the VW engines that looked like candidates are significantly low on power.

Then it is likely ether the lamp is not getting power from the inst. panel of the lamp is bad.

What would the advantage be?
